20 NOV 2020 · Spoilers for this episode--Caverna makes a great multiplayer game! But does it solo?
Ok, that wasn't really much of a spoiler I guess, but I did reference Good Mythical Morning, so that's something.

14 NOV 2020 · LYOR takes a look at a game that is a perennial favorite, despite the fact that pretty much everybody agrees it's a mostly bad game. If that confuses you as much as it does me, then you're in good company here. If not, you can still hang out with us anyway, so long as you buy the frescas.

7 NOV 2020 · In effort to help take your mind off the election, LYOR returns with a game that takes us back to a more refined age. A stupor of thought led Ryan to referring to FFG as the designer for Arkham Horror, but he said he isn't too worried about it, because the internet has never shown a history of being pedantic.

24 OCT 2020 · In its inaugural Halloween episode LYOR takes a look at one of Ryan's favorite skirmish games, The Others: 7 Sins. Take heart, as a lack of creativity and imagination on Ryan's part has resulted in nothing about this Halloween special being remotely special or related to Halloween at all.

16 OCT 2020 · As it's the third week of the month, Ryan talks about a solo game! Thousand Year Old Vampire, in which you can role play as a vampire who is traversing through the ages, while trying to remember your past. Ironically, Ryan spends most of the time trying to correctly remember the game's name.

10 OCT 2020 · Ryan delves deeply into the art of character progression as depicted on little cards. And more than ever feels concerned that his ravings are those of a madman that are naught to be understood by the sane populace at large.
Note from the editor: Ryan is immensely ashamed that he forgets to return to the discussion of Call to Adventure: The Stormlight Archive's solo mode, but assures me that his intent was to clarify that it suffered from the issues he already discussed, namely luck of the draw from the challenge decks, but a rather easy "co-op" mode, despite this. He also wonders how he could forget that the third card each player receives at the beginning of a game is called your "Destiny".

3 OCT 2020 · In a sudden and rather disturbing turn of events, Ryan somehow manages to struggle with going off on minor tangents in this week's episode of LYOR. Nevertheless he still manages to talk about some excellent games, and one that has befuddling popularity, all while attempting to correctly say "consortium".
